Density 73 · +10 vs Legumes & beans medianPapad scores 73 of 100, a Good band result ranking 20th of 60 in the legumes and beans category, above the category median of 63. It brings dietary fiber at 66% DV, magnesium at 65%, protein at 51%, and iron at 43%, an unusually well-rounded spread for a lentil-flour snack.
Papad is a thin, seasoned disc made from lentil or gram flour, traditionally roasted over a flame or fried and served as a crunchy accompaniment to Indian meals. The honest caveat is sodium: at 1740 milligrams per 100 grams, it is a genuinely salty food, and portion size should be kept modest even though its fiber and mineral profile score well.
